The rights the childless spouse has in intestacy vary depending on the jurisdiction. In some jurisdictions, the childless spouse has the right to inherit the entire estate if there are no other surviving relatives. In others, the spouse may receive a portion of the estate alongside other surviving relatives. It is important to consult the laws of your specific jurisdiction to determine the rights of a childless spouse in intestacy.
